| Summary: | We live in a world where scientific method is both the expected and accepted path to knowledge. With any scientific method, experiments based on detailed, well-documented, well-considered theories, and precise set-ups must be replicated exactly by others who come to the same conclusion to consider the information gleaned from them to be valid. This has become the accepted practice for most education and exploration. Using this method produces great results, observable in the scientific disciplines that affect our daily lives as well as progress in many fields of research. As experimental archaeologists, we have an unspoken, and sometimes unnoticed, expectation that we prove our theories with the same exactness in detail and scope. |
